Dear All,Please find a well-known piece of the guitar repertoire. It was originally written for guitar and string quartet. The famous guitarist Julian Bream made an arrangement for guitar and harpsichord. With my old friend Olivier Saltiel, we have played it in several concerts we gave this summer in small churches in the French country. For once, I am giving a link to a video, so that you can see my 'postiche' harpsichord (a P120 Yamaha keyboard wrapped in a nice wooden box). This is not the deepest music in the world, but quite a nice Spanish type fantasy... I hope you'll enjoy it !

What memories this brings back! This piece was on the first CD that I owned; I no longer remember why my wife and I had it when we bought our first CD player around 1990, but this was the first thing we listened to.

I love your 'postiche' harpsichord. While you're at it, perhaps you could give it a little a little horizontal sound board (fake, of course).

I will tell this to the people who made (and painted) the box. Yes it lacks a tail to resemble to a real harpsichord, however the idea was to keep a compact and easy-to-move instrument. Hence it has more the dimensions of a virginal (while the keyboard is much wider !).
